ACM Comm 2016 11 Sex as an Algorithm (Notes) (The Equation that Reconciled Darwin and Mendel)

After R.A. Fisher completed The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection. The Clarendon Press, Oxford, U.K., 1930.[1]

The three, R. A. Fisher, S. Wright, and Haldane, worked on the classic, but unidentified, the mathematics for studying how genetic evolution changes from generation to generation.

Sewall Wright. Evolution in Mendelian populations. Genetics 16 (1931), 97–159.

Did they collaborate on this or work separately?

Ideas

  1. Fitness - Darwin's concept of evolutionary advantage expressed in mathematics.

Assumptions

  1. Generations do not overlap. Generation A procreates and dies off after generation B is born.
  2. The species reproduces sexually.
  3. There are not distinct genders.
  4. The population is so large is can be considered infinite
  5. Mating is completely random.
  6. Expectations can be added and divided with impunity.
